A scientist is testing the effectiveness of Drug X on cancer. She gives a small amount of the drug to the mice that have cancer.

She gives each mouse a different amount from 1 to 10 grams, and then measures the size of the tumor in each mouse before the drugs and two weeks after the drugs. She gives one of the nice sugar instead of Drug X. What is her dependent variable in this experiment? A. The amount of Drug x given to the mice. B. The size of the tumor after Drug X. C. The mouse that received sugar instead of Drug X. D. The size of the tumor before Drug X

The answer is B. A dependent variable is one that varies according to the modulated independent variable. In this case, the independent variable is A -‘The amount of Drug x given to the mice’ since it is the one that is being controlled in the experiment.

Which statement describes both scavengers and detritivores
NeTakaya
Scavengers are an organism that mostly consumes decaying biomass. 
<span>
Detritivores feed on decaying organic matter and return essential nutrients back to the ecosystem.

So the answer would be (D). Both organisms feed on pieces of other dead organisms.</span>

What would be the consequence to an organism if they are missing the following DNA repair mechanisms:
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

a. DNA polymerase proofreading:   consequence of its absence is the DNA mutation

b.  Mismatch repair enzymes : consequence of its absence impedes homologous recombination resulting in the final mutation

c. Nucleotide excision repair enzymes : the absence of nucleotide cleavage repair enzymes would impede the functioning of damaged DNA repair mechanisms

Explanation:

a. DNA polymerases are the enzymes that form the DNA in cells. During DNA replication (copying), most DNA polymerases can "check their work" with each base they add. This process is called review. If the polymerase detects that you have added a wrong nucleotide (incorrectly paired), remove it and replace it immediately, before continuing with DNA synthesis

b. In homologous recombination, the information from the homologous chromosome that matches that of the damaged one (or from a sister chromatid if the DNA has been copied) is used to repair the fragmentation. In this process the two homologous chromosomes are approached and the undamaged region of the homologue or the chromatide is used as a template to replace the damaged region of the broken chromosome. Homologous recombination is "cleaner" than the union of non-homologous ends and does not usually cause 11 mutations

c. Excision repair: damage to one or a few DNA bases is usually fixed by removing (excising) and replacing the damaged region. In repair by base cleavage, only the damaged base is removed. In nucleotide excision repair, as in the mating repair we saw earlier, a nucleotide section is removed

Why have improvements in microscopes over time resulted in revisions in the cell theory? They have revealed new information abou
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer;

They have revealed new information about cell structure and processes.

Explanation;

-The Cell Theory states that, All living things are made up of cells, Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things, and that new cells are produced from existing cells.

-Most microscopes use lenses to magnify the image of an object by focusing light or electrons.

-The Invention of the Microscope helped the development of the cell theory because it allowed the scientists to actually discover that everything was made up of cells, and what cells do to come up with that theory. If the scientists did not see that cells existed, they could not have observed the cells easily and they would not be able to construct the cell theory.

Which of the following statements is correct relative to solar cheilosis (SC)?<br> RSE PDFS
Kay [80]

Answer:

The correct answer is "all of the above".

Explanation:

The missing options of this question are:

A. The major etiologic factor associated with SC is ultraviolet radiation, principally UV-B.

B. Factors predisposing to SC include skin phenotype, age, male sex, outdoor occupation, rural living, and host immune status.

C. AK and SC serve as clinical dose-meters for chronic UVR exposure.

D. All of the above.

The correct answer is option D. "All of the above".

Solar cheilosis (SC) is a type of precancer of the lower lip, induced by ultraviolet light exposure, particularly by the exposure of UV-B from sunlight. However, UV-B exposure is not the only cause of SC, there are different factor that predispose to the development of this disease, including skin phenotype, age, male sex, outdoor occupation, rural living, and host immune status. Particularly because people with an outdoor occupation is  more expose to sunlight and people with an detrimental immunological condition cannot fight SC as easy as a healthy person. According to the scientific article "Epidemiology of actinic keratoses and squamous cell carcinoma" by Salasche SJ., Actinic keratosis (AK) and SC serve as clinical dose-meters for chronic UVR exposure

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.
aksik [14]

Answer:

Just before the cat drops, it was stationery. Therefore it has energy of position called  potential energy.As it drops, the Gravitational potential energy is converted to Kinetic Energy,The conversion mid- air is P.E to K.E to P.E to K.E to P.E to K.E, until it touches the ground. As it touches the  ground all the energy is converted to P.E energy of position.

As it runs after mouse the P.E is converted back to Kinetic , energy of motion. As it feeds on the mouse , the chemical energy obtained  as protein from mouse meat.This is later converted back to Mechanical energy as (kinetic and Potential  energy)   in the cat.
